[1]	The negative revision results primarily from the removal of proved undeveloped reserves in the far eastern part of the Delhi field, referred to as Test Site 6, which were deemed uneconomic under the lower SEC price case utilized at the end of the period.
[2]	The 2,894,703 negative fiscal 2015 revision for natural gas primarily reflects a 2,246,524 MCF negative revision for the Delhi field NGL plant together with a 452,786 MCF negative revision at the Giddings Field for a well that was lost due to mechanical issues. The NGL plant revision resulted from a decision during the current fiscal year to use the methane production internally to reduce field operating costs rather than selling it into the market. The 156,195 BBL positive natural gas liquids revision primarily reflects 185,499 BBL positive revision for better recovery from the redesigned NGL plant, partly offset by a 29,304 BBL negative revision due to the lost Giddings well.
[3]	Significant reserve revisions occurred in the Delhi field during fiscal 2014. As a result of a fluid release event in the field, 1,817,224 BBLs of oil reserves were reclassified from proved to probable category based on the operator's decision to defer CO2 injections in certain parts of the field. There was a positive revision of 1,679,481 BOE, which was comprised of 1,275,178 BBLs of natural gas liquids and 2,425,821 MCF of natural gas as a result of an improved design for the NGL plant in the Delhi field. The plant was expected to significantly increase recoveries of these products, particularly natural gas, which were not previously planned to be extracted from the injection volumes.

Energy measure of increase (decrease) in quantity of proved reserve of oil and gas related to revision of a previous estimate resulting from new information, except for an increase in proved acreage, or change in economic factors, stated in a unit of energy. For example, but not limited to, barrel of oil equivalents (BOE) or one thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (Mcfe).
